'T'was hard to see, only just begun I guess. As a driver it is very apparent, even if he .or we can't see it (my friend and I did with the slow and stop action); A very tiny vibration develops; but in a tight setup as race cars have (not the cushy bushings street cars have) it is very discernible. Guaranteed the thought was not to have Lewis need to defend (with the Bottas cushion between), which would accelerate the growth of the blisters which were quite evident (the ring of them I mentioned) in parc ferme.

This is why I can enjoy the "boring" "non-racing" that so many find it to be. The subtle things that many are not aware of. That blistering could easily have ruined LHs day had they gotten much worse....
